Choosing wrestling equipment can take research. Requirements vary by class and individual, so ask your coach before buying specialised gear.
Shoes
Consider fit, grip, flexibility and comfort. Sizing varies, so check manufacturer guidance and return policies.
Protective Equipment and Clothing
Ask a coach whether protective equipment is appropriate. Choose training clothes that allow movement and have no zips, buttons or pockets that could catch.
Before You Buy
- Check what your class requires.
- Try items on when possible.
- Compare sizing, prices and return policies.
The MMAC wrestling program recommends shorts without zips or pockets, a fitted t-shirt or rashguard and a water bottle; bare feet are fine for a first class.
